Access your reference with a single tap.
A dedicated button instantly previews your reference image. Pressing the "peek" button displays your reference on top of your drawing with full opacity, releasing the button returns you to your drawing. This button also features a hidden function: pressing and moving towards the image activates a color picker, allowing you to quickly select colors from your reference image.
You also have traditional preview panel available if you like your reference to be present on your screen all the time.
160+ beautiful handmade digital brushes and growing.
KRESKA.art includes a large library of more than
160 handmade brushes, organized into 12 categories.
These include airbrush, basic round and square brushes
with
stipple variants, calligraphy, highly realistic charcoal, elements like flames, smoke and clouds, hair brushes
including fur and rake styles, halftone, inking, particles, pixel brushes for pixel art, sketching tools with

Sample brushes from the 160 brushes available in KRESKA.art
The most advanced brushes available in any web drawing app.
Kreska features a proprietary drawing engine unique among web apps, enabling brushes that no other app can match. It supports brushes combining custom shapes with grain textures, each uniquely customized with over 50 parameters. Despite this advanced rendering, Kreska stays smooth even on older hardware.
Kreska brushes support pressure sensitivity and tilt. If you draw with a finger or a stylus without pressure support, you can use configurable pressure emulation. This option lets the brush size increase or decrease based on stroke speed.
Each brush can be used for drawing, erasing, or blending. You can also choose whether pressure controls the brush size or opacity. Every brush includes a stabilizer to help create smoother lines.
Besides adjusting brush size and opacity, you can set the minimum size for better control and personalization. Brushes also work with the auto color feature, which automatically picks colors from a reference image while you draw. All these options allow you to create thousands of unique looks.

Reshape and refine with the Liquify brush.
Push, stretch, and warp without losing a single detail. Transform expressions, shapes, and proportions in seconds while your lines stay crisp and your colors stay clean. From subtle adjustments to bold exaggerations, the Liquify tool keeps your style intact.

KRESKA.art supports some of the most popular gestures: two-finger tap to undo, three-finger tap to redo, four-finger tap to hide or show the interface, one-finger press and hold to open the color picker, pinch and rotate with two fingers to zoom or rotate your canvas.
KRESKA.art works on PC, Mac, Linux, and Chrome OS, as well as on Android and iOS, both on desktop and mobile. It runs in Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Brave, and other modern browsers.
KRESKA.art is ideal for Chromebook users because it runs smoothly in any browser without installation, especially in Google Chrome, which is recommended. It includes all the features of a standard drawing app, making it perfect for classrooms where students can create digital art on shared devices or low-powered laptops without lag or setup.
Bring Your Creativity to the Real World
Why KRESKA's AR Feature Stands Out
Most AR (Augmented Reality) drawing
apps only let
you project images onto your camera feed, limiting you to basic tracing. KRESKA.art goes beyond that by allowing
you to use the live camera feed as your background, giving you a real-time preview of how your artwork will look
in the real world. You can trace over a static image or draw live with full access to KRESKA's tools.

With KRESKA's AR feature, your creativity is no longer limited to simple projections. You can interact with your surroundings in real time and see exactly how your ideas translate into reality.
Design tattoos with confidence by pointing your camera at your skin and previewing the perfect fit before making it permanent. Experiment with makeup using your laptop's camera to test colors and styles before applying them. Plan murals or graffiti by sketching directly onto a live camera feed of a wall, adjusting your design as needed.
The possibilities go even further. You can create patterns on clothing, map out decorations on furniture, or sketch blueprints onto real surfaces. Whether you are an artist, designer, or hobbyist, KRESKA gives you the power to bring your ideas to life with unmatched flexibility and precision.
To start tracing a reference image onto paper using KRESKA.art, follow these steps:
KRESKA.art is fully web-based, with optimized code to ensure fast loading and smooth performance. Since it runs directly in your browser, there's no need for any installation, just open the app and start creating instantly.
I usually pasted my references on one side of the canvas and drew on the other side. Now the entire canvas is free and the reference image is available at the press of a button.
KRESKA.art has proprietary painting engine that was built from scratch. Without compromises I was polishing it until it was perfect. Drawing experience is anything you ever encountered, fluid, responsive, satisfying, simply unique.
KRESKA.art supports layers with basic features like adding, deleting, merging, duplicating, fast clearing, and controlling layer opacity. You can also enable alpha lock to paint only on the opaque portions of the layer, which are the areas that were painted before.
Choose from an ever-growing collection of over 160 beautiful handmade brushes. The selection includes basic round brushes, soft airbrushes, sketching brushes resembling real pencils, inking brushes, watercolor brushes, charcoal brushes, pixel brushes, and more. Each brush can be used for painting, erasing, blending, and with the auto-color feature. Many of the brushes recognize the direction of your digital pen strokes for maximum realism.
There are many ways for picking color, press and hold with one finger, click the eyedropper icon from the color window or the floating toolkit or use the keyboard shortcut "i". To quickly pick color from your reference image press the big "peek" button on the vertical bar and move towards the center of the screen or press "p" and move you pencil. Each brush can paint with your reference image colors applied automatically which feels magical.
KRESKA.art supports all types of input: pen, touch, and even mouse. All brushes support pressure sensitivity, which you can turn on or off for a given brush to control brush size or brush opacity. Many brushes also support pen direction and tilting, a feature available on the iPad with Apple Pencil or on professional graphics tablets like Wacom or Huion.
KRESKA.art supports many keyboard shortcuts, some commonly used like "ctrl+z" to undo "space" to move the canvas around, some are unique like the peek "p" button to quickly peek at your reference image. Most of the shortcuts are shown on the "Floating toolkit panel", select "Toggle toolkit float" from the menu.
If you want your reference image always available next to your painting you can use the preview panel. Select "Toggle preview panel" from the menu. This panel has some unique features, it can mimic the movement of our painting on the screen.
Tolls float (sometimes called touch docker) can help you access all the application features even without keyboard or on devices without touch support

URL API
If you own a website that hosts images and want to give your visitors a way to use them as drawing references, KRESKA.art is the perfect solution. This will not only engage your users further but also encourage them to revisit your site for more drawing inspiration.
Currently, Kreska.art lets you create custom links that include reference image URLs. This means you can create a link that will automatically load a reference image from your website or the internet directly into a new KRESKA.art drawing. Simply paste the complete image address into the "ref" parameter of the KRESKA.art app URL. For example:
https://kreska.art/app/?ref=https://kreska.art/reference/3.jpg
**Important Note:** The image address should start with https://, also the website where the image is hosted needs to allow for CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing). If the image doesn't load, it means the server does not allow for opening images on other websites.
More examples:
https://kreska.art/app/?ref=https://images.pexels.com/photos/17708522/pexels-photo-17708522.jpegWhy this combo? The community’s “Golden Swap” theory suggests that Mochi + Mona creates a “speed‑plus‑knowledge” engine: Mochi’s Dessert Dash clears the map quickly, while Mona’s Lore Lockpick instantly reveals where the hidden “Moon‑lit Bakery” is located.
The four girls met again at the same community center, now twelve, each carrying a small token from the summer they spent away from home:
They laughed, recalling the chaos, the quiet, the paint, the pastries, the constellations, and the runway. The swap had not just broadened their horizons; it had woven a lifelong friendship that would forever remind them that the world is bigger, brighter, and far more colorful when you step into someone else’s shoes—or, in this case, into someone else’s bedroom for a month.
And so the “Switch‑Up Summer” became a beloved tradition, a testament to the magic that happens when curiosity meets compassion.
Title: “Switching Stars”
Daughter‑Swap – Chapter 23, Scene 11‑12
Mochi blinked at the glowing sigil hovering above the polished marble slab. The ancient glyph pulsed a soft lavender, and a thin ribbon of light curled around her wrist, humming against her skin like a whispered promise.
“Are you sure about this?” Mona asked, her voice barely louder than the rustle of the silk curtains that framed the courtyard. She’d always been the pragmatic one, the one who kept a ledger of every spell, every bargain, and every possible outcome. Her amber eyes flicked to the sigil, then to the two other girls standing beside her—Luna, with her midnight‑blue hair and a constellation of tiny, twinkling tattoos, and Luxe, whose golden curls seemed to catch the very sun itself.
“We’ve tried everything,” Luna whispered, eyes turned skyward, as though the stars might answer her. “The Council won’t let us keep the twins together. The only way forward is to trade… to trade daughters.”
The four of them had been friends since childhood, bound by the ancient pact of the Four Houses—House of Silk, House of Stone, House of Sky, and House of Sun. Each house guarded a secret: a child born under a particular omen, a child whose fate could shift the balance of power across the realm. When the High Council decreed that each house must give up its “Chosen Daughter” to the others, the four friends were forced into an impossible bargain.
Mochi took a step forward. The sigil’s light intensified, casting a soft halo that wrapped around her and the three girls. She felt a warm surge travel through her veins, as if the very essence of each house—silk, stone, sky, sun—was being braided together.
“Remember,” Luxe said, her voice bright as sunrise, “the pact isn’t just about swapping our lives. It’s about sharing the love we have for each other’s families, and protecting the twins—Mira and Selene—no matter where they end up.”
Mona nodded, pulling a small, vellum‑bound journal from her satchel. She opened it to a page inked with the ancient runes of the Daughter‑Swap Rite. “We’ll each write a promise. When the sigil seals, our hearts will carry those promises across the distance.”
She began:
I, Mona of House Stone, promise to raise Luna’s daughter as my own, to teach her the strength of earth and the patience of mountains. I will protect her as I would my own blood, and I will honor the memory of the night we first met beneath the moonlit cliffs.
She handed the journal to Luna, who added her own vow in a flowing script of silver ink:
I, Luna of House Sky, pledge to guide Mochi’s daughter through the currents of wind and wonder. I will show her the world from above, the freedom of clouds, and the serenity of starlit nights. I will never forget the laughter we shared by the river’s edge.
Luxe took her turn, her hand shaking slightly as she wrote:
I, Luxe of House Sun, swear to cherish Mona’s daughter with the warmth of a thousand dawns. I will nurture her spirit, illuminate her path, and keep her safe from the shadows that linger beyond our borders. DaughterSwap 23 11 12 Mochi Mona And Luna Luxe ...
Finally, Mochi lifted the quill, her eyes shining with determination.
I, Mochi of House Silk, vow to protect Luna’s daughter with the gentle strength of silk—soft, yet unbreakable. I will weave stories, comforts, and courage into her days, and I will forever cherish the bond we have forged.
As the last ink dried, the sigil flared, and a vortex of light spiraled between the four girls. Their bodies seemed to dissolve into threads of color—purple, amber, sapphire, and gold—each thread intertwining with the others. The courtyard faded, replaced by a kaleidoscopic swirl of memories: shared birthdays, whispered secrets, the night they all watched the twin moons rise together.
When the light finally dimmed, the girls found themselves in four different homes, each cradling a new child in their arms.
Mochi stood in the Silk House’s airy balcony, a tiny bundle swaddled in sky‑blue silk wrapped around Luna’s daughter, now named Astra. The baby’s eyes reflected the endless heavens above.
Mona, in the stone-walled hall of the Stone House, cradled Terra, a rosy‑cheeked infant with a faint, earthen scent about her. The hearth crackled, its warmth echoing the promise of steadfast protection.
Luna, perched atop the highest tower of the Sky House, gently rocked Zephyr, a sleepy child whose hair seemed to ripple like a gentle breeze, the wind whispering lullabies through the open windows.
Luxe, in the sun‑lit garden of the Sun House, held Solara, a bright-eyed girl whose laughter rang like bells at sunrise, her golden curls catching every ray of light.
Across the distance, each mother felt a tender tug—a pulse that resonated in the very core of their being. It was the echo of the promises they had made, a binding thread that could not be broken by distance or time.
The council’s edicts might have forced them apart, but the Daughter‑Swap had woven a new tapestry—one where love and loyalty stretched across the realms like a radiant web. And as the twins Mira and Selene grew under the watchful eyes of their new guardians, the four houses began to see that the true strength of their world lay not in isolation, but in the shared heartbeat of the families they had forged.
End of Scene 11‑12 (Chapter 23).
Next time: The first moonlit gathering of the new families, and the secret that the twins begin to sense—an ancient magic that binds them all together.
